His Honor, the Mayor, submitted his
annual message to the Council as fol-
lows :
April 11, 1904.
To the Honorahle the City Council:
Gentlemen — For the seven years I
have had the honor to serve as Mayor
of Chicago, of all the questions with
which the city government has been
called upon to deal, the traction ques-
tion has easily held the first place in
importance. During my first adminis-
tration the chief cause for alarm lay in
the aggressiveness of certain traction
interests in their attempts to fdrce
by questionable methods a settle-
ment inimical to the public welfare; in
these years it was only by the exercise
of a supreme effort the people prevented
the consummation of a franchise grant
which if made would have weighed heav-
ily upon the community for more than
two generations to come. For the past
five years the traction companies have
practiced every strategy shrewd coun-
sel has beeii able to suggest in finessing
for a technical advantage and to se-
cure by stealth and indirection benefits
they would not dare openly to ask. In
the meanwhile, the public, discouraged
<
April 11,
1904
and made suspicious by the constant
shifting of ground of those to whom it
has looked for leadership and guidance,
and worn to desperation by the wretch-
edness of the service with which it has
been accommodated, finally in the so-
called "little ballot" voted in the last
municipal election, has made demand
for a settlement of a character which
j may- well tax your ingenuity in grant-
ing.
I may be pardoned if in attempting
to clear the path the public has bidden
its officials to follow and to take such
share of constructive work in legisla-
tion as an administrative officer may
permit liimself I recount as briefly as
it may be done some of the successive
steps which have led to the position the
traction question occupies today.
In messages submitted to your Hon-
orable Body outlining what appeared to
me to be the necessary features to be
observed in undertaking a settlement of
this important question I have centered
upon three salient points which, if the
question were to be settled aright,
seemed to my Avay of thinking absolute
essentials. Let me repeat them. The
municipal experience of the past brought
forcibly to the front the necessity of
eliminating from all future considera-
tion of the problem the rights claimed
by the companies under the legislative
act of 1865, commonly known as the
1)9- year act. The general experience of
this and other municipalities in dealing
with kindred questions and the constant
danger that in the granting of franchises
public rights might be waived or lost
through the weakness of officials or the
influence upon them of sordid considera-
tions dictated the resort to a referendum
to the people in any proposed settle-
ment as the surest warrant and safest
guaranty of the public interests being
adequately protected. The firm convic-
tion that sound policy at no distant date
would demand a public ownership of
great municipal utilities dictated the
necessity for the passage of an enabling
bill by the State Legislature, authoriz-
ing cities to own and operate street car
lines, as an absolute prerequisite to a
settlement in the interest of the public.
In the belief these things were right
and necessary, at an early date in the
controversy I made public statement
that no grant of franchise would fully
meet my views until an enabling bill
had been enacted into law, nor in which
a referendum vote was not afforded to
the people, nor in which there w^as not
a distinct v/aiver by the interested com-
pany of all the rights and privileges it
claimed by virtue of the 99-year act.
At once I was charged with adopting
obstructive tactics. The public was as-
sured the one purpose controlling my
official actions was a desire to keep the
traction question alive to be used for
personal political advantage. The mem-
bers of your Honorable Body were ad-
vised day after day to ignore the de-
mands and sjiggestions made by me as
unworthy and to settle the question
without reference to whatever views I
might entertain. The result of this ad-
vice is what might reasonably have been
expected. A considerable public element
was educated to withhold all weight
from the opinions I held upon the ques-
tion; but more disastrous still the hold-
ers of traction stocks and securities
were encouraged in the belief that by
eliminating me from the field of official
activity it would be easy for them to
obtain a franchise of the character they
most desired.
Had those who preached these dogmas
remained consistent in their criticisms
iL would not be excusable foi- r.ie to call
attention to the criticisms now. Gradu-
ally, however, the suggestions made by
me were accepted even by the bitterest
of my honest hostile critics, until finally
after the municipal election of 1903
there grew up a practical unanimity of
sentiment that in a proper settlement
April 11,
6
1904
the fundamentals just mentioned must
be observed.
In the meanwhile many citizens had
been educated to believe that in all the
years this question has been under con-
sideration I have served no other aim
than to obstruct the way to an accept-
able settlement. This idea is prevalent
today. Selfish interests, assert the ad-
ministration, is unwilling to allow a safe
solution of the problem. Hostile par-
tisanship urges the obstructive tactics
of the executive as the one barrier to
decent public service. Thoughtless critics
attack the administration for its failure
successfully to grapple with the ques-
tion. Were one and all of these critics
to be fair and candid they would be
forced to admit that since the Mueller
bill was enacted into law and since the
referendum and the waiver of the 99-
year act have been given general ac-
ceptance as essential to a final and just
determination of the dispute, the real
and only obstructionists have been the
traction companies themselves. For one
year the traction companies have
blocked the way to settlement and the
failure of your Honorable Body to sub-
mit a fair extension ordinance to the
people for their approval or disapproval
in the last election has been due to the
refusal of the one company to accede
to the righteous demands of this Coun-
cil for proper compensation and the rec-
ognition of the popular outcry for an
early opportunity to acquire its lines
and the resort of the other company
to the federal courts for protection
from what in the beginning it was
'pleased to term the hostile and anarchis-
tic attitude of the city government.
For these reasons I wish to protest
with all the power at my command
against the charge that my position has
been merely that of an obstructionist,
unless those making the charge hold it
to be obstructive to stand consistently
and unwaveringly for what one is con-
vinced is right, fair and just.
Any effort to bring about a settle-
ment of the traction question is seri-
ously embarrassed by the difference in
the positions occupied by the two prin-
cipal companies, due to conditions for
which the municipality is in no way
responsible and over which indeed it
has no control. The one company has
been before a committee of this Council
seeking a franchise grant covering a
term of twenty years, the second com-
pany has appealed to the federal courts
on the theory it does not require a
franchise. extension in order to continue
in business in this community for many
years to come. While members of the
Local Transportation Committee have
been arguing with the representatives
of the first company for adequate com-
pensation and the reserved right for the
municipality to acquire possession of
its properties upon payment of a fair
price at the end of ten years from the
date of the grant, the staff of the Cor-
poration Counsel's office has been en-
gaged in a hard fought legal battle with
the other company to preserve the citi-
zens' rights in the streets and to pre-
vent a construction of the 99-year act
which would bind the municipality hand
and foot for decades to come.
Within the past few weeks new offi-
cers of the federal court have been pub-
licly quoted as desirous of meeting city
officials in an effort to solve the prob-'
lem. As yet these officials have no
means of knowing the character of the
proposals that might be made. I do
not take it to be the duty or the right
of an executive officer in the absence
of instructions from the legislative
branch of the city government officially
to undertake a first discussion of ques-
tions the decision of which properly and
under the law is vested in the City
Council. From the public statements
that have been made, however, it would
appear to be the desire of the court
officers to undertake a settlement along
lines that would preserve unimpaired
J
April 11,
the rights claimed under the act of
1865. The members of this body as
well as the city's executive both by
public pledges and by the repeated man-
date of the citizens rest under a solemn
obligation to require a waiver of these
rights as a prerequisite to a franchise
grant.
The positions occupied by the two
wmpanies might perhaps not improper-
ly be outlined as follows: The one
company is willing to surrender its al-
leged rights under the 99-year act in
consideration of a twenty year grant
of franchise, while the second company
stands ready to forego a definite long
term grant in consideration of an offi-
cial acknowledgment of its 99-year act
claims. With neither of these proposi-
; tions may the city properly agree. It
must not be forgotten that the public by
its votes on the "little ballot" has
served notice on its officials of its de-
sire for early if not indeed immediate
municipal ownership of the traction
properties. Previous Councils by the
reports of the Street Eailway Commis-
sion and the Local Transportation com-
mittee have given expression to a de-
cided belief in the necessity of a re-
quirement, that at the end of ten years
from the grant of franchise and there-
after through the full term of the grant,
the city shall have the right upon pay-
ment of proper and fair compensation
,to assume the control of the properties.
Public officials and the best public senti-
ment for some years have been of one
mind in demanding a waiver of the 99-
year act rights, if any exist, as essen-
tial in an extension ordinance.
The controversy prior to the last city
eection was certainly complicated
enough. This election, however, has
added further complication to an in-
volved situation. In this election a vote
was taken on two points directly con-
nected with the traction question and
each proposition was carried by a ma-
jority of those voting thereon in approxi-
mately the ratio of two and a half to
1904
one, and by a majority of all those vot-
ing for the various aldermanic candi-
dates. The first of these propositions is
a demand that your Honorable Body
proceed at once to acquire municipal con-
trol of the lines of surface
transportation; the second proposi-
tion is a demand that in the in-
terim of securing this control the city
give the companies a bare license to
occupy the streets. The municipality is
now confronted with the problem of find-
ing the means by which these demands
of the electorate may be granted.
The suggestion has been made that in
order to test the ability of the munici-
pality successfully to operate street
railways, the city make use of the lines
covered by the franchises of the Chi-
cago Passenger Railway Company which
are about to expire, for the purposes of
the experiment. As from time to time
the other franchises of this company run
out, the suggestion is that the city add
them to the municipally operated sys-
tem, gradually extending the service un-
til a thorough test of public operation
has been made. This suggestion comes
from two distinctly separate sources
and its purposes must be therefore con-
sidered in a double light. If the desire
be merely to test the ability of the City
of Chicago to engage profitably and effi-
ciently in the surface transportation
business, the suggestion is admirable.
If, on the other hand, it is sought to
impress the public with the appearance
of a municipal ownership victory, and
on the strength of it to claim the accom-
plishment of great things, the object
would perhaps be gained, but the pur-
pose of it would be most unworthy. If
the idea be by this means finally and
effectually to inaugurate general pub-
lic ownership of all the traction utili-
ties of this city, the suggestion is Uto-
pian rather than practical.
Even with the city operating all the
franchises of the Chicago Passenger
Railway Company the prospect of its
obtaining control of all the other su¥-
April 11,
1904
face lines would be as remote and as
beset with difficulties as it is today. As
was set up by the city's counsel in the
case now being tried in the local fed-
eral court, one of the strongest points
in the city's favor is the fact that, even
should the validity of the act of 1865
be sustained, by no stretch of the legal
imagination could the benign influence
of that act be made to cover the fran-
chises granted by the city to the Chi-
cago Passenger Railway Company. By
a judicious use of these expiring rights
it has been hoped the stockholders of the
Union- Traction Company might be
brought to a reasonable view of their
obligations to the citizens at large.
Should they remain recalcitrant the city
has counted upon using to the utmost
limit its control over the streets covered
by the Chicago Passenger Railway Com-
pany's franchises.
For myself I may be permitted to say
I believe in municipal ownership not as
an ephemeral fad, nor as a catch-penny
device for currying public favor, but as
a practical essential to good municipal
government. ]\Iy views on this question
have been outlined in previous messages
to your Honorable Body, and need not
be repeated here. Because of these be-
liefs I do not care for bogus municipal
ownership; I am not willing to accept in
lieu of the real article municipal owner-
ship husks devoid both of substance and
nourishment. Nor am I willing to prac-
tice a municipal ownership confidence
game upon the public. To meet my ap-
proval a municipal ownership plan must
be soDiething more than a hazy dream
or a succession of high sounding words
and phrases signifying nothing. I do
not propose to chase a will-o'-the-wisp
with tlie comforting delusion that a sub-
stantial object is in view. In the old
German fable i^ is said that" wherever
the rainbow comes in contact with the
earth a pot of gold is to be found. In
this prosaic twentieth century one may
well be excused from chasing rainbows
with the idea that merely because thg
rainbow is in distant view great ingots
of gold are awaiting him who can find
the spot where the bow of hope touches
the solid, substantial earth.
Moreover, when municipal ownership
is really to be had, I for one do not wish
to pay for it more than it is really
worth. This in the only true analysis
is a business proposition, pure and sim-
ple. When it is obtained, if it is to be
a success, it will be operated as a busi-
ness venture for the benefit and profit
of the public, and otherwise it should
not be operated at all. The question
must always be. Will it pay? For it
the municipality must not pay a price
upon Avhich the public operation shall
fail to pay a dividend.
In considering the question of a trac-
tion settlement I take it a plan should
be adopted which would be a fair busi-
ness proposition for the companies and
so fair to the municipality in the serv-
ice it offered and the compensation re-
turns it promised, that the citizens, when
given an opportunity to voice their sen-
timents, would place upon it the stamp
of their approval. The plan should af-
ford a guaranty to the public that at a
certain stipulated time before the expira-
tion of the full grant, and upon payment
of a fair price, the municipality could
acquire ownership of the properties, if
it elected so to do. As an assurance to
the public of the genuineness of the offi-
cial plans for ultimate public ownership
the compensation to be paid should
either all be applied to a safely guarded
sinking fund account to be held as a
nucleus of a fund with which to pur-
chase the properties, or a part should be
applied to the cleaning of streets and
alleys and the remainder to the sinking
fund account. I believe, even in view
of the recent vote for immediate pub-
lic control of the traction properties, an
ordinance of this character submitted
today to the people would secure a vote
of popular approval. A proposition such
as this should satisfy the popular de-
mand for early public ownership, because
April 11,.
it would make sucli ownership possible
wlienever public interest in the man-
agement of public affairs would have re-
sulted in such an improvement of con-
ditions as would make such ownership
profitable. I firmly believe a majority
of the citizens would consent to such a
settlement rather than leave matters in
their present unsettled state, subject
the riding public to a continuation of
the present wretched service, and aban-
don the entire question to the uncertain
decision of the courts of law and the
possible manipulations of future public
officials.
The city is in the unfortunate dilem-
ma of being unable to deal with both
companies along identical lines. From
the effort which has been made to sup-
port its claims it would appear one of
the companies looks upon its 99-year
rights as its chief asset, the principal
property it possesses with which
to bolster its fallen fortunes.
The public demands a waiver
of these rights, ' the city officials
are pledged again and again to exact
• this waiver. It is desired, moreover, to
find an ultimate settlement of the ques-
tion in its entirety, a settlement promis-
ing in the not distant future an unified
surface transportation system under pub-
lic control. It is here the apparently
insurmountable difficulty confronts us.
However, while it may be unfortunate
that both companies cannot deal with
the city along the same lines and to
their individual profit, the fault is r.ot
of the municipality. What good reason
is there against the city demanding an
identical settlement, settling Avith jeither
company which will accept its terms and
withholding a settlement from the other
company until it comes to see the error
of its ways?
Two possibilities would therefore seem
to present themselves. The first is to
draft an ordinance along the lines of
the so-called tentative ordinance of the
Local Transportation Committee, insert-
ing a provision for a fair and reason-
1904
able rate of compensation, as well as a
provision enabling the city at the end of
ten years from the date of the grant,
upon payment of a fair price, to acquire
the lines, with a further proviso calling
for the creation of a sinking fund ac-
count of all or a part of the compensa-
tion . moneys to be used ultimately as
purchase money, offer the ordinance to
each company, and if either or both ^
accept, arrange that the ordinance shall
be submitted 'for popular approval or
disapproval at the fall elections.
The second plan calls for laying aside
the tentative ordinance and for the
drafting of a new ordinance along new
lines, offering to pay the companies in
Mueller law certificates the full value
of their present tangible property, the
value of all their unexpired franchises,
excepting their alleged rights under the
act of 1865, the value of the improve-
ments and betterments to be made nec-
essary by a complete rehabilitation of
the system.s, finally making a lease of
the lines to the companies upon a fair
rental basis, the entire ordinance to be
conditioned upon an absolute waiver of
all the rights the companies accepting it
may claim under the 99-year act. This
second proposition under the terms of
the Mueller law itself would of necessity
be submitted for popular approval at the
next following election. The rental
moneys paid by the companies would be
deposited in a sinking fund account
with which to retire the certificates at
maturity.
In either proposition the saving clause
would be the necessity for the ratifica-
tion of the action of your Honorable
Body by the public when the referendum
vote was had. Each proposition provides
for the publish ownership which the peo-
ple in the "little ballot" have demanded,
Each proposition offers fair terms of set-
tlement to the traction companies. Each
proposition would prepare the way for
a betterment of the atrocious service to
which the riding public of Chicago is to-
day subjected.

In a decision in a recent case brought
by the city to establish its right to issue
bonds for the purpose of refunding its
judgment debt, the Supreme Court of
the State classified the existing indebt-
edness of the municipality, separating
that part of the debt which comes with-
in the constitutional limitation from
that part which is outside of the limita-
tion. As a result of this classification
the city finds itsplf able to sell bonds
for corporate purposes in the sum of
$4,000,000.00, in addition to the bonds
which it may sell for the purpose of re-
funding its judgment debts. With the
proceeds of these bonds it will be possible
for the city to undertake much Avork of
urgent importance. Prudence forbids
the application of any part of these
moneys to other than permanent im-
provements. In the face of extreme
pressure the last Council acquitted it-
self well in the practical unanimity with
which it voiced its determination prop-
erly to husband these funds.
In a previous message to your Hon-
orable Body I have said:
"In my message of 1899 I dwelt at
length upon the necessity of an in-
crease in the bonded debt of Chicago,
as well as upon the safeguards which
should be thrown around the moneys
raised by such means. Each issue of
bonds, I suggested, should be devoted
specifically and unalterably to a given
purpose; bonds should be issued only
as the money to be raised by them was
needed; the moneys obtained by their
sale should be expended under the di-
rect and constant care of a board of
overseers or directors appointed for
the specific purpose of jealously guard-
ing against a possible misapplication
of the funds, as well as against the
reckless and unnecessary issuing of
bonds."
While the subject then under discus-
sion was a comprehensive scheme of is-
suing bonds for all permanent improve-
ments, and while the amount of bonds
which the city is now able to issue will
be exhausted by the all important work
of lowering the La Salle street and
Washington street tunnels, together with
the work on new bridges, free bath
houses, new engine houses and police
stations already planned and provided
for in this year's appropriation bill,
public confidence in the ability of the
city to handle with prudence and econ-
omy great sums of money to be raised by
bond issues would be materially pro-
moted by the appointment of a citizens'
commission which should have super-
vision over the expenditure of the pro-
ceeds of bond sales and whose advice
and counsel would be sought and heed-
ed in all the details connected with the
raising of and caring- for sinking fund
accounts.
Unfortunately for the city, the op-
portunity to issue new bonds comes at
an inopportune time, if we consider the
condition of the money market alone.
During the past seven years the city has
marketed bond issues as follows :

In September, 1899, the city sold
bonds at 3.12 per cent, the lowest rate
at which it has sold bonds in its terri-
tory, while the highest rate it has paid
in seven years has been 3.25 per cent.
At the present time many circumstances
have combined to make money dear and
the interest rate at which the city will
be able to market bonds is probtematical.
The best v^dvice the city is able to obtain
holds out no promise of an early cheap-
ening of money. Because of its necessi-
ties even in the face of an adverse money
market, the city must attempt to place
bonds. In order to better the market,
negotiations were instituted by the
Comptroller to secure the acceptance of
the Municipal Bonds of Chicago, by the
Treasurer of the United States, as au-
thorized and recognized deposits for the
purposes fixed by the acts of Congress.
As a result of these negotiations, the
Treasury Department finally wrote, oh
March 24, 1904, saying: "Bonds of the
City of Chicago are acceptable the same
as other municipal and state bonds for
the purposes above mentioned," thus es-
tablishing the bonds of this city on the
same plane of value and acceptability
as those of New York City, Boston, and
the other great municipalities of the
country. In the appropriation bill of
this year the following improvements
were provided for, to be p^id for out of
the proceeds of bond sales :

In addition thereto the city is faced
with the necessity for immediate action
in the lowering of the tunnels. Aside
from the probable action of Congress in
ordering the lowering or removal of the
tunnels as obstructions to navigation,
the demands of the river interests, as
well as the general welfare and pros-
perity of the city, insistently demand
a river channel with a depth capable of
acommodating the modern navigation
of the great lakes. Healtli and decency,
moreover, demand of the city a sanitary
■ method of disposal for the city's gar-
bage. Present methods are not only
barbarous but economically unjustifiable,
and no single reform should command
your attention with greater force than
the institution of a sanitary scheme for
disposing of the city's refuse and gar-
bage.
The necessity for applying the pro-
ceeds of bond sales to the development
of the Sanitary District's water power
has been eliminated by the- action of the
last Legislature, which, largely upon the
advice of city officials and uj)on the
promise of Trustees of the Sanitary Dis-
trict that the water power when devel-
oped should be placed at the disposal of
the various municipalities comprising
the district, passed a bill enabling the
1 /
/
T
April 11,
district among other things to contract
for the development of the water power
at Lockport. This contract has been
let and the work itself is in progress.
No honest objection can be raised to giv-
ing the water power to the taxpayers of
the Sanitary District-upon proper terms.
No honest argument can be urged in fa-
vor of bestowing upon private capital
advantages paid for by and belonging
to the people. Your Honorable Body
should invite the co-operation of press
and public in an insistent demand that
tliF rights of the people who pay the
taxes in the district be recognized and
respected, and that the water power
when developed be placed at the disposal
of the public in whose interests the bill
authorizing the raising of revenue by
additional taxation ostensibly was
passed, and whose taxes are paying for
the work.
At the last session of the Legisla-
ture, after a bitter fight and at the de-
mand of an aroused public, a bill was
passed giving municipalities, under cer-
tain restrictions and limitations, the
right to own and operate street rail-
ways. This act, in accordance with its
provisions, was submitted to the elec-
torate at the last municipal election and
received the hearty endorsement of the
voters. The passage of the bill marked
a distinct step in advance; it has es-
tablished, moreover, a precedent for fu-
ture action of the same general charac-
ter in respect to other utilities.
I would urge your Honorable Body to
direct your Committee on State Legisla-
tion to prepare for presentation to the
next Legislature bills providing for pub-
lie ownership of gas and electric utili-
ties and authorizing the issuance of cer-
tificates of the same character as the
Mueller bill certificates to finance the
establishment of the systems.
Were the city able to issue bonds in a
large amount I would urge action
under the recent opinion of the Corpora
tion Counsel in which he holds the city
has the inherent right to sell gas and
14
1904
electric current tc its citizens. While
awaiting action on the part of the Leg-
islature it would be expedient to direct
the City Electrician 'to proceed at once
to sell surplus electric current which
can be developed in the various electric
stations during the day time and in
this way invite a legal contest with
the private companies by which the
city's rights and powers may be adjudi-
cated and learned.
Your Committee on State Legislation
should be directed to jjrepare a bill to be
submitted to the next Legislature author-
izing the municipality to regulate the
price of gas. The city recently won a
notable victory m the Supreme Court of
the United States which recognizes that
the gas company is subject to regula-
tion. The power to regulate is vested
either in the Legislature or ^the City
Council. A decison of the local Federal
Court holds this power to lie with flie
Legislature, and while the case will be
appealed and every effort will be madeto
establish the authority of the municipal-
ity to exercise this control, pending final
adjudication it would be well for the
city to move upon the Legislature and
seek remedial legislation.
The ordinances recently passed extend-
ing the hour for closing dramshops
from midnight until one o'clock and re-
quiring that after that hour all blinds
shall be drawn and a light kept burning,
affording a clear and unobstructed view
of the interior, will materially aid the
police in enforcing the closing ordinance.
The ordinance is now, to all intents and
purposes, self-enforcing, and except in
the cases of combination saloons and res-
taurants the patrol sergeants and pa-
trolmen would be utterly without ex-
cuse or justification were evasions to be
permitted. The old law was almost
impossible of enforcement, in view of the
limited number of the patrolmen. There
was, moreover, an unquestioned popular
demand for a later hour than midnight
for dramshops to be kept open. It is
difficult at best to enforce an ordinance
April 11,
15
1904
to which there is considerable public
opposition; to enforce the old ordinance
in face of public opposition and with a
liimted police force was a practical im-
possibility. The amendment advancing
the hour for closing to one o'clock sat-
isfies the public demand for longer hours
than the old ordinance permitted, and
the ordinance requiring the drawing of
blinds enables each citizen to have notice
of an attempted evasion of the law.
A difficult task, engaging the atten-
tion of the Police Department is the
effort to break up the evil of race-horse
oambling. The extent to which this vice
has spread is difficult to estimate and
is probably not fully understood by the
citizens. The ticker ordinance, passed
by the City Council at my suggestion,
and the close scrutiny and rigorous
treatment of saloons in which handbook'^
have been made has diminished this
form of law violation to a material ex-
tent. Handbooks today are being made
in out of the way places and tlie tele-
phone has taken the place of the tele-
graph instrument in diffusing gambling
information. The vice is pandered to
by the publication in the daily press and
in other ways of racing form cards, or
what are vulgarly known as "dope
sheets," giving the odds, riders, condi-
tion of tracks, and other information
calculated to aid the 'picking of win-
ners" and to increase the unhealthy in-
terest in this form of public gambling.
These form cards should be strictly pro-
hibited, if the vice is to be curtailed, and
;J would recommend action leading to the
necessary legislation.
In the past year there have been many
forms of investigation of the public serv-
ice both on the part of officials and of
volunteer bodies. In most instances criti-
cism, fault-finding and attack seem to
have been the only purposes sought. In
the investigations which have been made,
whether for laudable or ulterior aims,
the fact seems to have been lost sight of
that public servants are merely human
beings, open to the same temptations,
subject to the same failings, as other
human beings, often intolerant as h\iman
nature is intolerant of harsh criticism,
eager as all human nature is eager for
a word of commendation and praise,
disheartened and made stubborn in the
common human way by constant abuse
and captious criticism, stimulated and
encouraged to better effort in the same
common human way by applause aiid
words of approbation.
For myself, I have always felt that
the preponderance of good to ill result
following upon honest investigation made
such investigation rather to be welcomed
than resented. Nevertheless, it should
do no harm to point out that the general
scheme of work which has suddenly
grown so prevalent and popular would
promote a healthier condition of' public
aflfairs if an occasional investigation for
good conditions were to be undertaken
and if worthy and deserving public serv-
ants were to receive an occasional <^x-
pression of confidence. The good work
of the Municipal Voters' League has
been promoted by the generous and un-
stinted credit given by the organization
to exemplary service in the ranks of the
City Council; improvement in the per-
sonnel of this body has followed largely
ztecause good work is recognized and ap-
preciated. A like improvement in the
general public service would be promoted
by conscientious investigation which
would not only register blame, where
there was cause for blame, but bestow
credit where credit was due. It is hard-
ly conceivable that among all the thou-
sands of city employes, both high and
low, there are not many cases of worth
and merit; yet, judged 'by the reports of
investigations published from time to
time, the city government is in the hands
of the Philistines, and all chosen people
are in the ranks of the investigators.
If the purpose of these investigations is
a betterment of conditions, let the bright
side of public affairs be brought out
as well as the dark; then not only will
bad service be held up to obloquy and
April 11,
16
1904
opprobrium, but good service will re-
ceiA^e the praise and encouragement it
deserves.
And in connection with this suggestion
let it be emphasized again and again
that the law is made not only to be en-
forced, but to be observed and obeyed.
It is not every critic of the public
service who can honestly say: "My
hands are clean; I am an observer of
the law."
In the recent election a proposition
was presented on "the little ballot" call-
ing for a change in the present method
of choosing members of the Board of Ed-
ucation. Without entering into a dis-
cussion of the interests promoting the
change from an appointive to an elective
system, nor of the influences behind the
move, let it be remembered that in all
the hostile criticism of City Councils,
County Boards, Drainage Boards, and
Legislatures of the past generation, the
general standard of the Board of Ed-
ucation has remained excellent, and few
scandals have cropped up in its work.
The best thought on municipal govern-
ment of the day unites in demanding
the greatest possible concentration of au-
thority and responsibility. The same
arguments which are urged in favor of
electing the members of the Board of
Education might as well and as appro-
priately be advanced in favor of the
election of the Comptroller, the Com-
missioner of Public Works, the Chief of
Police, the Fire Marshal, in fact of
every head of a municipal department.
Advanced thought favors increasing
rather than diminishing the power and
responsibility of the Mayor. When the
citizens have reconsidered this question
and have given it the benefit of a sober
second thought they will hesitate before
they take a backward step. It has been
my aim and purpose in the years I have
served as Mayor to remove the schools
as far as may be possible from the
sphere of politics and political influence.
Merit today controls in the public schools
and individual pull has lost its malign
power. The scheme recently voted upon !
would upset all the good work of seven |
long years and place the schools abso- ^
lutely at the mercy of political rings and i
spoils dictation. {
A Mayor's message would be incom- !
plete were no reference to be made in it I
to the financial distress of the city gov-
ernment. Year after year I have discussed
the subject in all its bearings; indeed,
the full gamut has been run in pointing
out the causes of municipal poverty and
the apparent impossibility of obtaining
relief. The present year, as members of
your Honorable Body are well aware,
has been no exception to the rule, which
seems to be that this great city of two
million souls is indefinitely doomed to
struggle along with a revenue inade-
quate for its barest needs. Where, Avhen,
and how relief is to come has not yet
been made evident. Citizens are indulg-
ing in roseate dreams of the benefits to
be obtained from the proposed constitu-
tional amendment by which Chicago is
to be given a new charter. To these citi-
zens I would commend a careful leading
of the amendment itself. Its adoption
will be of assistance to the city. It must
not be thought, however, that with its
adoption all the ills from which Chi-
cago has suffered in the past and is
suffering today will be cured.
CORPORATIO.N COUNSEL'S OFFICE.
The Corporation Counsel's oflice has
during the past year been engaged in the
most important legal controversies that
have ever engaged the attention of that
department. The disputes between the
city and the traction companies pend-
ing for years, so far as the West and
North Side companies are concerned,
have been submitted to the United States
Court for consideration upon oral argu-
ments and written briefs. The bone of
contention always has been the validit}'
and extent of the so-called "ninety-nine
year act." The proceedings leading up
to the appointment of the receivers for
the Chicago Union Traction Company
April 11,
17
1904
and the underlying companies, and the
legal contest which has been a result
thereof are matters on which the public
must be so well informed that it is
unnecessary for me here' to refer to
them. There can be no doubt that the
city has presented its contentions forci-
bly and ably, and that nothing has been
left undone by the Law Department to
fully present every argument that could
be presented in behalf of the city.
The Supreme Court of Illinois held in
the case entitled, City of Chicago, for
Use of Schools, vs. City of Chicago, that
all school lands commonly known as
"Section 16 lands" (being lands acquired
by grant from the general government),
and all lands derived by purchase with
the proceeds of sales of such lands, were
subject to special assessmeht, and as a
result thereof the Board of Education
will be compelled to pay all special as-
sessments heretofore levied against its
property which it has heretofore refused
to pay, and those bonds on which -the
city has defaulted, owing to the present
refusal to pay, will be paid.
In the case of City vs. Chicago Gen-
eral Railway Company, the depart-
ment ousted the railway company
from certain streets for failure to main-
tain its right of way in good condition
and repair, and in the case against the
Chicago Terminal Railway Company,
and the Suburban Railway Company,
ousted the railway company from* the
street for failure to operate.
The judgment for $555,560.25 entered
August 29, 1899, by the Circuit Court
of Cook County, in favor of the firm of
Weir, McKechney & Co. for money al-
leged to have been due on account of
work performed by said firm in the con-
struction of Section .3 of the Northwest
Land Tunnel, was reversed by the Su-
preme Court.
The Supreme Court of Illinois, in de-
ciding the Stone case, which was an
appeal from a decree of the Circuit
Court, denying an injunction to restrain
the city from issuing bonds to the
amount of four million dollars for the
purpose of paying judgments against
the city, passed upon the question of the
present indebtedness of the city, and as
a result thereof the city will be enabled
to issue bonds to a comparatively con-
siderable amount for the purpose of
making several needed improvements.
October 15, 1900, the City Council, by
ordinance, fixed the price of gas to be
charged in the city at the rate of not
to exceed seventy-five cents per thou-
sand feet. The People's Gas Light and
Coke Company contested the validity of
the ordinance in the United States
Courts, claiming that under its special
amended charter, passed by the Legis-
lature in 1865, it had a contract where-
by the city could not reduce the price
below the sum of three dollars per thou-
sand feet, and that by virtue of its hav-
ing taken advantage of the Gas Consoli-
dation Act of 1897, by merging with
many other companies, it had still a con-
tract whereby the city was prohibited
from reducing the price of gas below the
sum of one dollar per thousand feet, and
that it was charging one dollar, and that
the passage of the ordinance constituted
an impairment of the contract. The Cir-
cuit Court decided adversely to the Ga&
Company's contention, and the Supreme
Court of the United States has just sus-
tained the lower court. The only ob-
stacle now in the way of cheaper gas to
the citizens of Chicago is the decision
of the United States Circuit Court in
the Mills case, that the city has no
power to regulate the price of gas. The
Law Department is now preparing this
case for appeal to the Supreme Court of
the United States and is confident of a
favorable decision. In tTie event, how-
ever, of an adverse decision, the admin-
istration will seek a grant of power to
regulate the price of gas from the Legis-
lature.
If space allowed, it would be my pleas-
ure to refer to other very important liti-
gation which has resulted successfully.
The marked success of the Law Depart-
April 11,
18
1904
ment has been due to its devotion and
fidelity to the interests of the city, and
due credit should be given accordingly.
In the Special Assessment Law De-
partnient thirty-six (36) condemnation
cases have been successfully tried, and
eight hundred and fifty (850) special
assessment proceedings for street im-
provement have been confirmed. This in-
cludes the Jackson Park avenue sewer
system, at an estimated cost of $887,000.
This department has caused to be put in
collection during the year over $100,000
of old assessments, a large amount of
which should have been in collection
years ago. When collected, practically
all local improvement bonds now out-
standing can be met.
The present vigorous course in substi-
tuting new sidewalks for old plank side-
walks, where these are defective, should
be continued, as the direct cause of a
majority of the present pending injury
cases against the city are due to the de-
fective condition of plank walks.
The warrants brought down to date
by Haskins & Sells should be investi-
gated for the purpose of ascertaining
their accuracy, with a view to determin-
ing whether any monej^s are due on
them or not.
COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE.
The administration of the city's
finances during the year 1903 was em-
barrassed by the proverbial insufficiency
of revenue. While the public needs of
the city corporate are constantly in-
creasing, the revenue from taxation re-
mains practically the same from jear to
year. This is illustrated by the fact
that general taxes levied for corporate
purposes in 1902 amounted to $5,770,-
876.97; in 1903, $5,831,097.25, an in-
crease of $60,220.28, whereas the cor-
porate expenses for 1903, as compared
with 1902, show an increase of $554,-
772.80, and an excess of expenses over
revenue for 1903 of $895,724.13.
The necessity for providing funds
promptly and in sufficient volume to sat-
isfy all legitimate demands and sustain
the city's credit has required the most
constant watchfulness and attention.
Every safeguard that has been devised
by the business world for use in commer-
cial transactions has been installed in
the various departments in the city in
order that the revenues may be con-
served and the utmost economy prac-
ticed in expenses. Much of this work
has devolved upon the Audit Bureau of
the Comptroller's office, whose useful-
ness is being constantly extended. For
example, during the past year a Price
and Material Division has been created,
wherein prices on every purchase made
by the city are carefully scrutinized and
compared. The pay rolls of departments
are also checked against original time
books and their accuracy tested by an
actual count of the employes while at
work. The results have been gratifying
not only in their moral effect, but in the
fact that the economies resulting have
placed the bureau on a self-supporting
basis.
The records of the city's real estate
have been revised and perfected, and
careful attention has been given to the
revenues from that source.
The most notable achievement in the
history of special assessments was the
sucessful culmination during the past
year of the work of the accountants,
Haskins & Sells, in adjusting the ac-
counts and rewriting the records of
special assessments from the time of
the great fire of 1871. This work was
in progress for nearly three years,
and covered 4,300,000 individual assess-
ments, aggregating $95,500,000. The
work contains over 200,000 sheets of
manuscript and typewritten matter, and
is an invaluable record to both the tax-
payers and the city, as it has enabled
the taxpayer promptly to collect for ex-
cessive payments without the assistance
of a tax exj^ert ; it has provided the city
with «, full knowledge of the special as-
sessment obligations, and in many cases
has pointed the means of liquidating
April 11,
19
1904
them, and has promoted harmony in the
relations between the citizens and the
city government.
x\mong the financial benefits of this
work are the recovery by the city of
$550,000 of delinquent taxes, which had
been lost sight of in past years, and the
payment of rebates to property owners
aggregating over $400,000.
By virtue of the systematic mctltc"' r,
of accounting for special - assessments
and the careful administration of the
special assessment fiinds throughout the
year, the city was enabled to comply
with the legal requirements for the pay-
ment of special assessment bonds, and
bonds were called for payment at the
end of the year aggregating $567,500.
Additional payments have since been
made as fast as funds have accumulated
and a large saving of interest charges
has thus been effected.
By a system of daily checking and
constant supervision the Police Courts
have finally been put upon a paying
basis, the revenue from this source for
1903 being $163,680.43, and the expenses
$117,646.23, leaving a net earning of
$46,034.20.
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Water Supply.
Stations and amount and capacity of
*pumping machinery have remained tRe
same as in 1902. Total amount of water
pumped during 1903 was 137,515,751,-
956 gallons, being an increase of 623,-
468,936 gallons over 1902. On a basis
of 2,000,000 population, this is 188 gal-
lons per capita, daily.
Contracts have been let for three 25,-
000,000'gallon vertical triple expansion
engines at Chicago Avenue Station. A
contract was also awarded for a new
boiler plant to take the place of the ex-
isting plant at the Fourteenth Street
Pumping Station at a cost of $100,000.
Water Pipe Extension.
One hundred and twenty-four thou-
sand and twelve lineal feet of water pipe.
varying in size from 4 to 36 inches in di-
ameter, were laid; 332 hydrants and 253
valves were placed. At the close of
1903 there were in all a total of 1,940
miles of water mains, 19,922 hydrants
and 15,681 valves.
Bridges and Viaducts.
During the year 1903 new bascule
bridges were opened for public use as
follows: East Division street. Ninety-
fifth street, Canal street. Main street,
State street, Ashland avenue (West
Fork), and Randolph street bridges.
The first two were built by the City of
Chicago and the others by the Sanitary
District of Chicago. Substructures for
new trunion bascule bridges over the
North Branch of the river at West Di-
vision street and North avenue were
completed, and plans were prepared and
contracts let for the superstructure of
the North Western avenue bridge. The
West Division street bridge will be
opened to traffic by April 15, and the
North Western avenue bridge will be
completed by August 1, 1904.
Harbors.
Forty-four permits for dock work
along the Chicago and Calumet Rivers
v/ere issued, involving the construction
of 5,075 feet of new docks, the rebuild-
ing of 3,721 feet, and the repairing of
2,161 feet. Sixty-three permits were
issued for dredging in the Chicago and
Calumet Rivers, Covering approximately
1,952,000 cubic yards. The Sanitary Dis-
trict continued dredging the Chicago
River, removing about 232,000 cubic
yards. The United States government
removed from the Calumet River 1,440,-
000 cubic yards.
A new^ engine should be installed at
Sixty eighth Street Station; another at
the Springfield Avenue Station; and a
third at the Central Park Avenue Sta-
tion. Work should commence at once
on the proposed new tunnel leading from
the present Sixty-eighth street crib
southwesterly to the central portion of
the southwest district to a new pump-
April 11,
20
1904
ing station so that this new station can
supply the entire district sontli of the
Sixty-eighth Street Station, thus en-
abling the Sixty-eighth Street Pumping
Station to supply Hyde Park and the
Town of Lake.
BUREAU OF WATER.
The work of the Bureau for the year
1903 has been of the routine nature.
Results have been quite satisfactory.
House to house inspections, extending
over eight of the outlying and sparsely
settled wards, have resulted in an in-
crease to the general assessment of about
$73,000.
Assessor's Division.
Contracts were let for laying water
service pipes in sixty streets. Estimates
for laying water service pipes prepared
for the Board of Local Improvements
cover 112 streets.
Meter Division.
Two thousand five hundred and sixty-
three meters were repaired, being about
33 per cent, of the total number in serv-
ice. Collections in this division exceed-
j ed those of the previous year by $74.-
214.09.
Collection Division.
Quite a reduction of the force was
made at the commencement of the year,
making it necessary j:o perform some
night Avork. The collections pvr^eedecl
those of the previous year by $416.-
340.44.
Legislation should be had so as to
make effective the application of $200,-
000 appropriated by the Council for in-
stallation of meters for the Durnose of
stopping the enormous waste of water.
GARBAGE.
During the year 1903 there were re-
moved 1,307,550 cubic yards of garbage,
or 273,926 loads, at a cost of $643,427.30.
There were 919 garbage complaints, in
comparison with 1,417 during 1902;
47,688 loads of snow^ were removed at
a total cost of $58,079.59.
Some action should be taken at once
towards providing a more modern meth-
od of disposing of the garbage and ref-
use of this city.
STREET AND ALLEY CLEANING.
During the year ' there were cleaned
15,079% miles of streets and alleys,
necessitating the removal of 117,223
loads of street dirt. One million, two
hundred and forty-five thousand and two
lineal feet of weeds' were cut. Two hun-
dred and twenty- four thousand, , eight
hundred and forty-eight inlets to catch-
basins were opened and cleaned. The
total costs of this work was $244,225.57,
and $37,120.43 of this amount was
charged to the street car companies for
cleaning their various rights of way.
REPAIRING IMPROVED STREETS
AND ALLEYS.
During the year the following work
Avas done in the repair of streets and al-
leys : Nine thousand, three hundred and
thirty-three and one-half square yards of
new cedar blocks were laid, 8,498 square
yards of old cedar blocks were relaid,
7,285 square yards of granite bloclfs
were relaid, 1,86114 square yards of
macadam laid, 8961/0 square yards of
brick laid, and 488 square yards of
asphalt. «
UNIMPROVED STREET AND ALLEY
CLEANING.
The following work was done on un-
improved streets and alleys: 1.191,529
lineal feet of streets graded, 660.260
lineal feet of ditches opened and
cleaned, 385 new and repaired aprons,
1,314 new and repaired crossings, 1,601
new and repaired culverts, 40 new and
repaired box drains.
SIDEWALK REPAIRS.
The following work was done on side-
walks: 1.906 new and repaired intersec-
tions, 16.776 general repairs were made.
SMALL PARKS.
Tliirty-two small parks were main-
April 11,
21
1904
tained and kept in good condition by this
department at a cost of $19,087.24. The
appropriation for the year was $21,000.
In improving and beautifying the parks
1,125 cubic yards of black soil were
used. Seven thousand, eight hundred
plants and 135 trees were planted. Spe-
cial attention was given to the follow-
ing parks : Congress, Normal, Fernwood,
Jefferson, Irving, Bernard and East End
Parks. In the improvement of East End
Park 20,000 loads of rubbish were re-
moved.
The Police Department should give
special attention to the enforcement of
the Clean Street Ordinance. The Health
Department should request property
owners and residents to see that all
cleaning of yards, etc., be done about the
15th of April instead of the 1st of May.
The abolition of plank sidewalks should
be advocated. Steps should be taken to
have the money received as compensation
for sidewalk space, bay window space,
and coal vault space, available for use
in cleaning and repairing streets, as the.
sum appropriated by the Council is not
sufficient.
BUREAU OF SEWERS.
Amount of sewage pumped,
in gallons 10,099,000,000
Mileage of sewers cleaned
during year 369.4
Catch basins cleaned 14,683
Total cost of cleaning
sewers and catch basins. $118,303.41
House drains put in 8,651
Total expenditures for
maintenance $286,815.40
Owing to the inadequate appropria-
tion we have not given the sewers a gen-
eral cleaning for several years, confining
ourselves to attending to complaints. We
should have enough money to go over
the entire system at least once a year.
The growing tendency to clean asphalt
and brick paved streets by flushing into
the catchbasins requires the frequent
cleaning of the basins, and unless an in-
creased appropriation is proveded this
will be impossible. On newly paved
streets the Board of Local Improvements
should provide as many inlets as possible
to prevent water standing in the gut-
ters. Numerous complaints reach this
office of water standing on vacant prop-
erty fronting on streets which have
sewers., Some way should be found to
com,pel owners to drain their property
of this water, which becomes stagnant
and causes sickness. Installation of a
sewer system in each of the following
districts is necessary: In the extreme
southern portion of the city, and. in the
territory lying west of Western avenue
and south of Thirty-ninth street, as
these districts are completely inundated
every spring.
INTERCEPTING SEWERS.
The 20-foot conduit in Thirty-ninth
street (Sections C and L) has been com-
pleted and cleaned. The work on the
grounds and walls for the pumping
station at Thirty-ninth street and Lake
Michigan was much delayed by the con-,
stant northerly winds. The protection
pier was completed, as well as the very
large coffer-dam in which the water
channels and foundations of the pump-
ing station are now building; nearly
one-third of the foundation was finished
in 1903. Work on the pumping ma-
chinery and engines for the Thirty-ninth
Street Pumping Station is progressing
steadily. The southern intercepting
sew^er is completed to Seventy-first
street. A temporary pumping plant on
the Illinois Central right of way is be-
ing installed for the purpose of divert-
ing the sewage from the lake on the
South Side. The work on Stony Island
avenue has been carried on by day labor
as heretofore, with good results. Fol-
lowing is a summary of sewers and ap-
purtenances built by day labor during
1903:
622 feet 15i/4-foot sewer, Section G3.
2,437 feet 13%-foot sewer. Section G3.
4,656 feet 13i4-foot sewer. Sections H
and H2.
392 feet 12i^-foot sewer. Section H2.
April 11,
22
1904
12 manholes.
5 catch basins.
1,240 feet li/4-foot sewer.
The city has maintained during 1903
the temporary pumping station on Law-
rence avenue at Lake Michigan to relieve
the conduit of such sewage and storm
water as flows into it; likewise the tem-
porary plants on Thirty-ninth street at
Halsted street. Dearborn street and Lake
Michigan. These three plants last men-
tioned will be dispensed with as soon as
the temporary plant connecting the
South Side system with the Thirty-ninth
street conduit is completed.
Work to Be Done in 1904.
Finish Section H2 to Seventy-third
street, a 12y2-foot sewer 1,700 feet long;
also 1,200 feet of 4-foot sewer in 63d
street, from Stony Island avenue to pres-
ent Woodlawn Pumping Station ; also
2,900 feet of 61/. -foot sewer from Thirty-
fifth street to Thirty-ninth street; also
j-eversing all sewers east of Cornell and
Stony Island avenues. This will finish
the intercepting sewer work on the South
Side, so that the entire South Side sys-
tem will be ready for operation as soon
as the pumping station and machinery
at the foot of Thirty-ninth street is com-
pleted.
On the North Side there will have to
be built 8,100 feef of 16-foot diameter
conduit in Lawrence avenue, together
with needed pumping station, intake at
lake and outfall to river. This work,
however, cannot proceed pending the de-
cision by the Supreme Court of the Han-
reddy case. The crib for the Fullerton
avenue conduit will be repaired and par-
tially reconstructed.
BUREAU OF MAPS.
During the year this bureau prepared
1,977 plats, of which 1,523, covering an
area of 1,458.67 miles, were for the
Board of Local Improvements. Plats
showing all bay windows and other en-
croachments on city property were pre-
pared, also plats for all sidewalks in the
downtown district showing space occu-
pied by the adjacent property owners.
Seventeen thousand, nine hundred and
seventy-seven people required the per-
sonal attention of an employe during the
year. Approximately 56,000 people made
use of the information obtained in this
bureau. Two hundred and twenty-two
petitiojis, including street railway, elec-
tric light, heating, etc., saloon license
protests and house-moving petitions
were verified and reported on.
All atlases in this bureau should be
renewed as soon as possible.
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.
I have kept in closer touch with the
Health Department than usual during
the year, and as a result I wish to bring
somewhat fully to the attention of the
Council the present status of this
branch of my administration, the re-
sults of its work and its effect upon the
reputation of the city.
It must be a source of gratification
to learn that, while Chicago spends the
least amount per capita for health pur-
poses, it has the lowest death rate of any
of the principal cities of the country.
These two assertions are based on
official reports of the United States Cen-
sus Office and the United States Depart-
ment of Labor.
In the census year 1900 there were, ac-
cording to these authorities, eleven so-
called "principal cities,,' — that is, those
having populations of more than 300,000
each. In order of lowest death rate these
are as follows:
Death Per capita
rate for health
per 1.000. purposes.
Chicago 10.2 $0.10
Cleveland 17.1 .16
St. Louis 17.9 .22
Buffalo 18.4 .14
Cincinnati 19.1 .12
Pittsburg 20.1 .25
San Francisco 20.5 .64
Baltimore 21.0 .15
Philadelphia 21.2 .23
Boston 23.4 .30
New York 25.4 .30
April ,11,
23
1904
These figures shoAV Chicago's death
rate to be 20 per cent lower than the
average of the other ten cities, 23 per
cent lower than Baltimore's, 24 per cent
lower than Philadelphia's, 32 per cent
lower than Boston's and 36 per cent
lower than New York's. They show its
per capita expenditure for health pur-
poses to be 58 per cent lower than the
average, and 66.6 per cent lower than
that of Boston and New York.
In achieving these results the follow-
ing features of Health Departnlent work
are regarded as important factors:
1. Supervision and inspection of the
milk supply, which has resulted in giv-
ing Chicago the best milk and cream of
any large city in the country— the im-
provement in its quality and consequent
effects on child life are shown in the
statement that in 1896 more than one-
third (37 per cent.) of the samples ex-
amined 'in the Municipal Laboratory
were found to be below grade, and the
deaths of children under 5 years of age
were 66.6 per 10,000 of total population.
In 1903 only 6.4 per cent, were found
below grade, and the children's deaths
were 44.7 per 10,000 — an improvement
of 83 per cent, in milk quality and a
decrease of 33 per cent, in child mor-
tality.
I would call the attention of the Coun-
cil to the fact that the present force
available for supervision of the milk
supply — which includes the collection of
samples throughout the entire city, in-
spection of dairies, stores where milk is
sold, wagons, utensils, etc. — consists of
six milk inspectors, one dairy inspector
and one milk tester. The total cost of
this service for the year 1903, including
salaries, horse feed, shoeing, repairing
of harness and vehicles, purchases of ap-
pliances, bottles, chemicals, apparatus,
etc., Avas $8,915.00. The license fees
paid into the City Treasury amounted
to $45,647.00. Add to this the sum of
$7,217.00 collected in fines from violators
of the Milk Ordinance, and the total re-
ceipts by the City through the work of
the Milk Division amount to $52,864.00,
or $43,949.00 more than its total cost.
I beg to suggest to your Honorable Body
that a large part, if not every dollar, hi
this excess of receipts over expenditures
would be profitably employed in the ex-
tension of the services of the Milk Di-
vision to the work of careful inspection
and supervision of Chicago's milk supply
at the points of production.
2. The efforts of the Department in
the field of preventive medicine, especial-
ly with reference to consumption, diph-
theria, influenza, pneumonia, scarlet
fever, smallpox and typhoid fever — In
1893 the consumption death rate was
18.10 per 10,000 of population. A cam-
paign of education in the cause and re-
striction of the disease was then begun
and has been carried on since. Last year
the death rate was 14.04— a decrease of
more than one-fifth (22.4 per cent).
In 1894 the city paid the penalty of
previous years of neglected vaccination
through an epidemic of smallpox, which
cost 1,190 lives and an enormous loss
in money. The practice of vaccination
has been completely modernized and per-
sistently pushed. An up-to-date Isola-
tion Hospital has replaced the old "pest-
house," and at the close of last year
there had been but sixty-one deaths from
smallpox since 1895.
_ In October, 1895, the Department pro-
moted the antitoxin treatment of diph-
theria and assumed its treatment among
the poor and destiute. In that year the
deaths from this disease amounted to
11.66 per 10,000 of population. Last
year there were only 3.44 per 10,000— a
decrease of 70 per cent.
During the three years previous to
the first .appointment of the present
Commissioner there Avere 4,494 deaths
from typhoid fever— an average annual
rate of 12.86 per 10,000 of population.
During the last three years, 1901-1903,
there were only 1,898 such deaths— an
average annual rate of 3.46 per 10.000
and a decrease of nearly three-fourths
April 11,
24
1904
(73.1 per cent) in the typhoid mortality.
The decrease is due, in large measure,
to the information given to the public
as to the sanitary quality of the water
supply, based upon the daily chemical
examinations.
3. Chicago's system of free public
baths, open throughout the year, is also
a factor of public health. More than
half a million men, women and children
were, during the past year, afforded bath-
ing facilities without charge. The Carter
H. Harrison bath, opened in January,
1894, was the first absolutely free muni-
cipal bath established in the world.
Among other features of the ten years'
work of the Department may be men-
tioned the development of a first-class
practical working laboratory of chemis-
try, bacteriology, pathology and diag-
nosis, whose scope and volume of work
may be inferred from the fact that con-
siderably more than 100,000 separate
determinations and manipulations are
made aimually in the regular branches,
exclusive of special examinations and
analyses ;
The original devising and subsequent
perfecting of a system of disinfection,
already widely copied elsewhere;
The inauguration of medical school in-
spection in 189(5; the second city in the
country to make the attempt;
The vast improvement in the regis-
tration of vital statistics and the cer-
tification of causes of death;
The supervision of contagious disease
during life, and the conduct of funerals
and care of premises after death;
And, above all, the persistent education
of the public by circulars, leaflets, bul-
letins, lectures and addresses, whose les-
sons and precepts are disseminated and
emphasized by various civic and philan-
thropic organizations and still more
widely by the public press.
The Commissioner claims that the Chi-
cago, public is thus made more intelli-
gent on sanitary matters than is any
other community and largely to this fact
he ascribes the constantly increasing
health fulness, the reducing death rates
and the lengthening of human life in
Chicago— facts shown by the Depart-
ment's figures and corroborated by the
official statistics of the United States
authorities.
BOARD OF LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS.
During the past year 1,499,041 square
yards, or 82.5 miles, of paving were con-
structed of different material at a cost
of $3,817,400, as follows:
Miles.
Asphalt 48.88
Brick 7,06
Cedar 1,92
Creosoted block . . 03
Granite \ . . 3.55
Macadam 20.15
Novaculite 28
Rock asphalt 18
There are now confirmed by the
County Court and ready for advertising
paving assessments on 126 streets,
which, with the number of streets that
will yet be confirmed so that the work
can be done this year, will insure fully
as many miles of street paving for the
year 1904 as was laid in 1903.
Sewers were constructed in different
streets amounting to $343,750, and as-
sessments for drains, water service pipes
and watei- mains were confirmed and
improvements constructed amounting to
$150,000. Plans have been prepared and
an estimate made and the roll is now
being spread for a system of sewers to
be known as the ""Ninety-fifth Sti'eet
System," Avhich is designed to drain 5,500
acres lying south of Eighty-seventh
street, the estimated cost of which is
$745,000.
In 1903 357 miles of sidewalks were
constructed at a total cost of $1,163,783,
as follows: Cement, 135 miles; cinder,
172 miles; plank, 50 miles, this being
far in excess of sidewalk work ever here-
tofore done by the department. Assess-
ments have been confirmed and are now
under contract for the construction of
April 11,
25
plank walks upon 52 streets, covering
13 miles ; cement walks upon 107 streets,
covering- 57 1/2 miles; cinder walks upon
224 streets, covering 56 miles. In addi-
tion to these streets, already under con-
tract for sidewalks, assessments have
been confirmed and are ready for adver-
tising as follows: Plank sidewalks, 8
streets, 2 miles; cement sidewalks, 141
streets, 37% miles; cinder sidewalks, 52
streets, 26 miles.
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
The increase of the salaries of patrol-
men from $1,000 to $1,100 per year has
been much appreciated by the rank and
file of the service.
As a whole the department is growing
old, and while many patrolmen by rea-
son of long service and the ills incident
to police duties are not as active and
efficient on post as desired, they would
be fairly satisfactory in the performance
of certain lines of duty such as street
crossings, public playgrounds, public
baths, schools in congested neighborhoods
and wherever men are actually necessary
if younger men were available for active
police work. If this city is to be ade-
quately policed, an increase of at least
1,000 patrolmen is a crying necessity.
The total number of arrests during
the year, was 77,763, an increase of 7,449
over 1902. These figures do not include
223 arrests made on capias. There were
40,186 arrests for disorderly conduct, an
increase of 5,781 over last year. About
16 per cent of the arrests of the year
were felonies, 11 per cent for state mis-
demeanors, and 73 per cent for viola-
tions of city ordinances; 20,412 persons
were fined in police courts, the amount
of fines aggregating $330,026; 377 per-
sons M^ere sent to penitentiaries or re-
formatories and' 764 persons to the
County Jail or House of Correction by
the Criminal Courts through the activity
of this department. Fifty-three fugitives
were traced to and arrested in other
cities and returned to Chicago for trial,
and 209 fugitives were arrested in Chi-
1904
cago and turned over to officers from
other cities.
The area of the city is 109.0 square
miles. Number of police officers per
square mile, 14.5. Average number of
arrests to each officer, 28.12.
The number of insane persons handled
during the year shows a decrease of
about 8 per cent as compared with 1902.
During the year the patrol wagon re-
sponded to 69,918 call§ and traveled 235,-
979 miles. Eight ambulances are in
service.
During the year there has been an in-
crease in the number of arrests for both
serious and minor offenses, which may
be attributed to the increased vigilance
and energy of both rank and file in the
service.
Estimated value of property reported
stolen, $434,881.75. Value of stolen prop-
erty recovered by the police, $392,181.63.
Total expenditures for the department in
1903, $3,569,477.77.
Thirty-two deaths occurred in the
active service of the department: Three
from gun shot wounds and twenty-nine
from other causes while in the discharge
of duty. Two hundred and twenty-eight ,
officers were injured during the year
while in the discharge of their duty.
HOUSE OF CORRECTION.
The House -of Correction in 1903 cared
for a total of 10,368 persons, with an
average daily population of 1,401. It
earned $95,987, and showed an average
per capita expenditure of 33 cents per
day.
Quarrying of stone was commenced
during the year and ^lans for enlarging
the stone crushing plant completed and
the product of the quarry is, being used
for street purposes and other municipal
needs. Five million brick were made at
the institution and turned into the vari-
ous departments of the city during the
year. The policy of work for every in-
mate has been rigidly adhered to, and in
a short time they will all be employed on
AA^ork for city account only, lessening the
1
i
April 11,
26
1904
objection to the competition of prison
labor, furnishing the city required arti-
cles at a minimum price, and making
the institutions more self-sustaining.
The new city dog pound was built on
the institution grounds during the year
largely by inmates of the instituion and
is credited with being the best appointed
dog pound in the country.
Three and one -half acres of river slips
have been filled in during the past year,
that additional ground added to the
acreage of the institution, it now being
converted to farm purposes.
The John Worthy School department,
with an average population of 348, has
added new features of educational in-
terest during the year, and its effective
work in reclaiming many a wayward boy
with its salutary influence upon- hun-
dreds of others is shown in the reports.
The institution's work was further en-
larged during the year by its adoption of
the House of Good Shepherd and the
Erring Women's Refuge for reform as
houses of shelter and provisions made
for the maintenance of delinquent young
girls in these two institutions, which
action legalizes commitments and places
them under the jurisdiction of the House
of Correction.
The efficient and high plane upon
which the institution is conducted, its
constantly declining percentage of re-
commitments and the value and influence
of the institution's Avork upon thousands
of unfortunates annually committed
there, are personally known to hundreds
of our best citizens who interest them-
selves in philanthropic matters.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The Fire Department during the past
year responded to 8,251 alarms, an in-
crease of 1,05& over the preceding year.
The value of property involved was
$111,743,441. The loss for the year was
$3,062,922, or $1,050,011 less than in the
year 1902 period. The total insurance
involved was $68,748,203. Five new en-
gine houses were built during the year
at a cost of $54,000. Three new steam
fire engines, of the latest improved type,
were purchased at a cost of $14,100.
Three new aerial hook and ladder trucks
were purchased at a cost of $12,600.
These trucks are valuable acquisitions
to the department and cail be readily
handled by two men, requiring but fifteen
seconds to be raised and put into service,
whereas the old-style trucks required
five minutes' time and the services of
six or eight men. Twenty-three thousand
feet of hose was purchased at a cost of
$16,000, and 43 horses were bought at
a cost of $8,110. The cost of repairs
to apparatus for the year amounted to
$34,101.45. Repairs to buildings cost
$10,000. The improvements as noted
above were very essential and will add
greatly to the efficiency of the depart-
ment.
I would suggest the early installation
of the high-pressure system in the con-
gested district. I would also recommend
the hign-pressure system for the Stock
Yards district, or that the engine com-
panies now located there be duplicated.
It is also very essential that companies
be equipped and installed as follows:
Nine engine and four truck companies
west of Halsted street, between the city
limits north and south. Five engine and
three truck companies in the north di-
vision of the city, north of Fullerton
avenue. Six engine and four truck com-
panies south of Thirty- ninth street and
east of Halsted street.
I Avould again urge the speedy instal-
lation of the pipe line system for the
fire boats as recommended in my previ-
ous reports, the same to be a part of the
high-pressure system contemplated.

DEPARTMENT OF SUPPLIES.
The report of the Business Agent
shows that there were issued during the
year 1903 18,313 orders for materials,
supplies and repair Avork, involving an
expenditure of $653,195.32. A compari-
son with business of the previous year
shows an increase of 401 in the number
of orders issued, and a decrease of $4,-
715.75 in the total sum expended through
the department. The average expend-
iture involved in the year's transactions -
was $30.21, as compared with $36.72 for
the year 1902, showing an average de-
crease of $6.51. The year's business as
thus summarized includes purchases of
merchandise for the warehouse main-
tained by the department, as well as of
stationery and office supplies carried in
stock in the City Hall. The warehouse
stock includes materials and supplies
which are in regular and constant use
and which are delivered upon requisi-
tion in small lots to the several depart-
ments. There were issued during the
year 1,601 orders on the warehouse,
mostly including lists of small items and
representing a cost of $19,595.86.
The cost of maintaining the Department
of Supplies during the year 1903, includ-
ing salaries, vent of warehouse, equip-
ment and all other expenses, was $15
April 11, .
427.36. During the same period the de-
partment received from the sale of
scrap iron, old machinery and various
waste materials the sum of $6,383.62.
. It is the purpose of the Department
of Supplies to guard the city's small dis-
, bursements and get full values for all
sums expended. To this end the work
of the department is conducted on strict
business principles. Competition is free,
and the records of all transactions are
complete.
TRACK ELEVATION.
Ordinances have been passed for the
elevation of the Chicago Junction Rail-
way and the tracks of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway, eliminating
jointly forty-two grade crossings and
elevating six miles of tracks, at an esti-
mated joint cost of $2,400,000. The vari-
ous railroads entering Chicago have ele-
vated seven miles of main tracks and
about sixty-two miles of other tracks,
and liave eliminated forty -one grade
crossings by the construction of subways
at an estimated cost of $3,690,000.
The work to be done by the railway
and railroad companies under ordinances
that have been passed and accepted and
whicli is to be fully and finally completed
on or before the 31st day of December,
1900, is as follows: Total number of
miles of m.ain tracks to be elevated,
57.43; total number of miles of other
tracks to be elevated, 279.76; total num-
ber of subways yet to be constructed,
186; total estimated cost of work yet
to be completed, $18,095,000.
As all of this work has to be completed
within the next three years it will re-
28
1904
quire that the railroad companies shall
construct and fully complete at least a
little over $6,000,000 of work each year
at their own expense.
BUILDING DEPARTMENT.
The inspection of new buildings has
been more thorough and frequent than in
former years, because of the instituion
of a new system of records. All halls,
churches, hospitals and hotels have been
inspected and made to comply with the
requirements of the ordinance.
The fire escape ordinance has been
vigorously enforced and the erection of
fire escapes ordered on 1,300 buildings.
The enclosure of elevator shafts with
fireproof material has been stringently
enforced. A large number of buildings
erected in previous years were found to
be poorly equipped with protection
against fire, and in these a strict compli-
ance has been required with the present
ordinance.
The department is limited as regards
employes and should be improved in that
respect. Although building was not as
extensive as in the preceding year, the
department turned over to the general
fund, after paying all expenses, $9,428.95.
CITY COLLECTOR'S OFFICE.
The large increase as shown by the
resume of the work of this office for the
fiscal year is evidence of the persistent
and earnest work of the department in
the collection of all license, special as-
sessment and warrant for collection mat-
ters assigned to this office for collection.

Total
Increase over 1902.
The most noticeable gain for 1903 was
effected in the collection of special as-
sessments; $1,269,303.31 was collected in
excess of the amount returned to the
City Treasurer during 1903. A net' gain
of $12,824.98 is shown in the collection
of licenses and permits, as well as a
substantial increase in the collection of
insurance tax. Special efforts were made
in forcing prompt payment of saloon
licenses of which there were issued dur-
ing 1903 7,055.
The innovation in the collection of
warrants issued for services rendered in
making boiler, elevator and electrical
inspections, including all other charges
for services and material, damages to
bridges, etc., charged by the municipal-
ity has wrought most gratifying results.
Thirteen thousand eight hundred and
eighty-seven accounts were charged
during 1903, of which 13,388 were col-
lected. Of this number individual re-
turns were made by the collectors of this
department on 5,108 accounts involving
$183,316.10 — a decrease of 40 per cent in
the number of delinquents as compared
with accounts outstanding during 1902.
The total amount collected on these war-
rants during 1903 was $543,496.12.

cations, and three additional smoke in-
spectors.
DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICITY.
Twenty-four additional fire alarm
boxes, sixteen additional police boxes,
5,000 feet of underground cable, and
thirteen miles of aerial wire have been
added. Four hundred and three addi-
tional lamps have been placed in serv-
ice, and forty-one lamjDs have been discon-
tinued, increasing the total number of
lamps by 362 for the year, and making
the total number of lamps in service
December 31, 1903, 5,003. In addition to
lamps placed in service during the year,
five miles of underground cable, thirty-
five miles of aerial wire, five 160-light
and one 150-light generators have been
added. One and a half miles of under-
ground cable, containing about fifteen
miles of wire, and 210 miles of aerial
wire have been placed in service to re-
new defective cables and old aerial iron
wire, and the instruments connected with
the lines renewed have been put in good
condition in the Fire Alarm and Police
Telegraph and Telephone service.
The total number of fire alarms re-
ceived and transmitted during the year
Avas 8,051, being 1,062 more than in
1902.
This bureau shows a saving of about
$50,000 over 1902, on account of the
substitution of burners consuming three
cubic feet of gas per hour instead of
three and a half and four feet, and a
saving of $5 000 in the maintenance of
the lamps over 1902 on account of the
lower rate on contracts for the care and
repair of the mantle lamps. Two hun-
dred 24-candle-power mantle lamps
have been added and the same number
of 60-candle-power mantle lamps re-
moved. All of the gasoline lamps are
now 60-candle power. One hundred and
fifty-two have been added during the
year, and $3,500 saved over 1902, on ac-
count of the lower rate obtained.
About 1,200 new automobile licenses
have been issued during the current year
and 700 renewals, the revenue collected
therefrom being $4,263. Of this amount,
$1,200 has been spent for badges", certi-
ficates, postage stamps and stationery,
leaving over $3,000 net profit to the
city; all of which is exclusive of the
revenues collected for electric and gas
inspections.
The most important improvement
needed at present is better lighted
streets in the outlying districts. Chi-
cago now stands at the nead of all cities
in the world in its municipal lighting,
and such money as may be available
should be used to extend the system.
The proper improvement of streets
means the removal of all poles and over-
head wires at the time permanent paving
is put in place. The city occupies many
pole lines jointly with private companies
and finds in some instances that lack" of
money to remove its own wires blocks
the desired improvement. This work
should be proceeded with upon every
street that is repaved, and special effort
should be made to secure the necessary
money to enable the city to care for its
part of such improvements.
For three years past an effort has been
made to secure the necessary money to
permit the placing of proper signs at
street intersections, but the effort has
been unsuccessful. Like many other de-
tails that cost money, this important one
April 11,
31
1904
has been put a«ide because it was not
absolutely necessary, yet there are many
complaints and frequent criticisms upon
the lack of sign's. No city can be great
unless it looks after the little details.
MUNICIPAL LIBRARY AND BUREAU
OF STATISTICS.
During the year 1903, 1,424 bound and
imbound volumes were received, 156 let-
ters were referred to it by the various
city departments, and 670 letters ad-
dressed to it directly. The mailing list
now contains 830 names and is steadily
increasing.

CITY TREASURER.
Received from the several departments
(City and County), $38,244,668.82; dis-
bursements, $37,500,535.24.
Under the present system, pay checks
of city laborers are cashed at places
convenient to the nien, saving trouble
and expense ior the men and saving in
time. In handling the pay checks for the
Board of Education, a system has been
inaugurated which saves about two
months' time.
In special assessment collections a
$31,282 32
system has been inaugurated which
saves interest to the city and enables the
contractors to receive money due them
much sooner than in former years.
A system ha^ also been inaugurated
whereby city employes may receive ad-
vances during the month, if occasion war-
rants, of a portion of their earned sal-
aries > thus obviating the necessity of
their falling into the hands of "Loan
Sharks," who caused untold annoyance
in stopping city employes' salaries in
former years.

SMALL PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS.
The statutory Park Boards have con-
tinued their policy of active co-operation
with the Special Park Commission, ap-
pointed by me, and the latter body has
made gratifying progress in the estab-
lishment of Municipal Playgrounds. At
the last session of the General Assembly
the Special Commission assisted in the
passage of legislation, which provides
for the South Park District additional
safeguards for the small park and play-
ground funds, a half mill tax for their
maintenance and the acquisition of
others with any surplus; also author-
ity to issue $3,000,000 additional bonds
for the acquisition of additional parks
unlimited in krea and the improvement
of Grant Park; also a half mill tax for
the maintenance of such parks; for the
Lincoln Park district authority to issue
$1,000,000 of bonds for the addition of
215 acres to Lincoln Park.
Of the park and playground sites rec-
ommended by the Special Commission
the South Park Commissioners selected
five either without change or by adding
to the area and selected five other sites
close to those recommended. Altogether
fourteen large and small park sites have
been bought or will be in a short time
on the South Side, adding 647 acres to
the park area. A majority of these
sites are in densely populated districts.
The beneficent work started by your
Honorable Body more than four years
ago in the organization of the Special
Commission will bear fruit this year in
the opening of the first small park and
playground. Before this Commission
was organized none of the Park Boards
had made a move towards park exten-
sion. Authority has been obtained now
to expend $6,500,000 by bond issues for
this purpose, in addition to special taxes
for maintenance.
After recehing a comprehensive re-
port on sites, needs and conditions from
the Special Commission the Commission-
ers of Lincoln Park selected all the four
sites for small parks and playgrounds
wliich were recommended. Active steps
are now being taken to purchase the
property and to sell the $500,009 of
bonds authorized. Authority lias been
given by the City Clerk and County
Treasurer to issue these bonds. Suffi-
cient breathing spaces and recreation
grounds are now assured the densely
populated parts of the North Side.
It is to be deplored that the West
Park Board came to a standstill after
selecting three o^ the small park sites
recommended by the Special Commission
and offering $250,000 of bonds for sale.
The leason given is that the bonds are
not marketable owing to an alleged flaw
in the act. That part of Chicago which
stands in most need of these breathing
spaces must wait two years or more un-
April 11,
33
less public- spirited citizens of wealth
rise to the needs of the occasion.
In the matter of an outer belt system
of parks and boulevards for the city and
county the Special Commission is pre-
paring a preliminary report. The County
Board has provided for a Commission
which will co-operate with the Special
Comission along those lines.
One new playground was established
during the year, at Institute place and
Orleans street, in a densely populated
district. This recreation ground was
made possible by private contributions,
the principal benefactor being Miss Mar-
{ garet S. Watson,* of Evanston. A total
of nearly $1,000 was thus obtained and
the Commission added another $1,000
for equipment and maintenance. The
free use of this site was given by the
Northwestern Elevated Railroad Com-
pany, making the second gift of the
kind. This ground was taken over as
part of the Municipal system late in the
year, making eight playgrounds now in
operation. A ninth one, on West Chica-
go avenue near Lincoln street, is partly
finished and will be opened during the
summer. The free use of this site has
been given the city.

cept any and all space occupied and used
as street railway rights of way thereon
between said points, which rights of
way are by the ordinances granting them
agreed to be paved and kept in repair
by the railway companies owning, oper-
ating and controlling the same), shall
be filled with earth free from animal or
vegetable matter, and so graded that
after being thoroughly puddled, and
rolled with a roller of ten tons weight
until the several roadbeds are
thoroughly compacted, and after
the pavement hereinafter de-
scribed shall have been placed thereon,
the surface of the pavement at the cen-
ter of the finished roadway of each of
said above specified streets and the cen-
ter of the finished roadways of ,all
streets intersecting the said above speci-
fied streets and extending from the curb
line to the street line produced on each
side of each of said above specified
streets, except where the several road-
ways are occupied by street railway
rights of way, shall coincide with the es-
tablished grade of said above specified
streets hereinbefore described, and where
said roadways are occupied by street
railway rights of way the entire Avrdth
of all such rights of way shall coincide
with the Established grade hereinbefore
described, and the surface^ of said fin-
ished roadways at the summit in the
gutter between catchbasins and adjoin-
ing the roadwa}^ face of the curb shall
be four inches below said established
grade, and the surface of the finished
roadways at the catchbasin inlets in the
gutters adjoining the roadway face of
the curb shall be nine inches below said
established grade.
The slope of the gutters adjoining the
roadway face of said curb shall be uni-
form from the summits to the catch-
basins, and a transverse section of said
finished roadAvays and said gutter flags
where the same are not occupied by
April 11,

1904
street railway rights of way, shall be
an arc of a circle passing through the
said gutter grades and the grade of the
center of said finished roadways, and a
transverse section of said finished road-
ways and said gutter flags, where the
same are occupied by street railway
rights of way sliall be an arc of a circle
passing through the said gutter grades
and the established grade of said above
specified streets at each side of said
street railway rights of way at every part
of said above specified streets and at
every part of all intersecting streets be-
tween said points.
The surface of the finished pavement
in all intersecting alleys hereinbefore
specified shall be four inches below the
top of the curb on each side of said al-
ley intersections at the street line pro-
duced of each of said above specified
streets and shall slope thence at a uni-
form grade to their intersection with the
several gutters hereinbefore specified.
Upon the several roadbeds thus pre-
pared between the points hereinbefore
specified and between said gutter flags
shall be spread a layer of Portland ce-
ment concrete six inches in thickness.
The cement to be used shall be so ground
that ninety-two per cent will pass
through a standard No. 100 sieve hav-
ing 10,000 meshes per square inch.
J3riquettes made from a mortar com-
posed of one part cement and three parts
torpedo sand, exposed to the air for one
day, and immersed in water for six days,
shall develop an ultimate tensile strength
of 200 pounds per square inch.
One part cement which will stand the
above test and comply with the above
requirements, and three parts of torpedo
sand shall be thoroughly mixed dry, and
then made into a mortar with the least
possible amount of water.
Seven parts of the best quality of
limestone, or other stone which shall be
equal in quality for concrete purposes^
of a size that will pass through a ring
of two inches, internal diameter and be
held on a ring of one-half inch internal
diameter, all of which stone shall be
thorughly cleaned, free from all foreign
substances and drenched with water,
shall then be incorporated immediately
with the mortar ; . each batch of concrete
shall be thoroughly mixed and at once
spread upon the surface of said roadbed
and thoroughly compacted by ramming
until free mortar a.ppears on the surface.
The surface of said layer of concrete
shall be parallel with and three and
one-half inches below the top of the
finished pavement.
Upon the concrete foundation as above
specified shall be laid a "binder" course,
composed of broken limestone of a size
known as "small concrete" and asphaltie
cement. The stone shall be heated and
thoroughly mixed with the asphaltie
cement in the proportion of fifteen gal-
lons of asphaltie cement to one cubic
yard of stone. This, binder shall be
spread on the base above described and,
while in a hot and plastic condition, shall
be rolled until it has a uniform thick-
ness of one and one-half inches. The up-
per surface shall be exactly parallel
with and two inches below the finished
surface of the pavement.
Upon this "binder" course shall be laid
a wearing surface or pavement proper,
which shall be composed of asphaltie ce-
ment seventeen parts, sand seventy-three
parts and pulverized carbonate of lime
ten parts. The sand and asphaltie ce-
ment shall be heated separately to a
temperature of three hundred degrees
Fahrenheit. The pulverized carbonate
of lime shall be mixed with the sand and
these ingredients then mixed with the
asphaltie cement at the above tempera-
ture in an apparatus which shall effect
a perfect mixture.
All asphaltum used in the making of
the asphaltie cement for both the binder
and the wearing surface shall be as-
phaltum obtained from Pitch Lake in
the Island of Trinidad, or asphaltum
Avhich shall be equal in quality for pav-
April 11,
40
1904
ing purposes to that obtained from Pitch
Lake in the Island of Trinidad.
The material for pavement, when
mixed as above, shall be spread at a tem-
perature of two hundred and fifty de-
grees Fahrenheit. It shall be carefully
spread by means of hot iron rakes in
such manner as to give uniform and reg-
ular grade to such a depth that after
having received its ultimate compression
it will have a thickness of two inches.
The entire surface of the roadway thus
improved shall then be compressed by
hand rollers, after which natural hy-
draulic cement, in the proportion of one
barrel to each one thousand square yards
of surface shall be swept over it, and
the whole then thoroughly compressed
by rolling with a steam roller of ten tons
weight, the rolling being continued for
five hours foT each one thousand square
yards of surface.
Six new catchbasins shall be construct-
ed, and connected and trapped with the
sewer in South Sacramento avenue and
located in the roadway of said South

ALSO,
The following veto message :
Mayor's Office, ^
April 25, 1904.
To the Honorable, the City Council of
the City of Chicago:
Gentlemen — I return herewith, with-
out my approval, an ordinance passed
at the last regular meeting of your
Honorable Body, granting permission
and authority to the Anheuser-Busch
Brewing Association to construct, main-
tain and operate a single railroad track
from the tracks of the Chicago & North-
western Railway Company to the prem-
ises of said Anheuser-Busch Brewing As-
sociation, in and along Helen court, from
its intersection with Humboldt boule-
vard, for the reason that said ordinance
does not require that the track shall be
located as shown on a plat which should
be attached to the ordinance, and made
a part thereof. No provision is made
for the track to be so laid, constructed
and maintained as to interfere as little
as practicable with the use of said
April 25,
58
1904
street, nor is provision made for the
grading and paving and keeping in re-
pair of the portions of the street and
sidewalk occupied by said track.
Section 4 of the ordinance fixes the
term at ten years, but the ordinance is
not made subject to modification, amend-
ment or repeal. The bond clause is not
as broad as is usually required, and the
compensation clause is indefinite, in that
it does not provide when the compen-
sation shall be paid, nor to whom.
Moreover, the ordinance does not
provide for the filing of an acceptance
in writing by the grantee, nor fix the
time when said acceptance and bond
shall be filed.
I have had amendments drafted em-
bodying said suggestions, and respect-
fully recommend their adoption without
the usual reference to a committee.
Respectfully,
Carter H. Harrison,
Maijor.
Amend an ordinance passed April 11,
1904, granting permission and authority
to the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Asso-
ciation to construct, maintain and oper-
ate a single railroad track, connecting
its premises with the tracks of the Chi-
cao and Northwestern Railway .Com-
pany, in and along Helen court, from its
intersection with Humboldt boulevard,
which ordinance is printed at pages 53
and 54 of the current Council Proceed-
ings, as f olloAvs :
Amend Section 1 of the ordinance by

Whereas, Much comment has lately
been made as to the operation of the
Building Department and the fitness of
the Hon. George Williams to hold the
office of Commissioner of this Depart-
ment; and
Whereas, INIr. Williams was appoint-
ed to this office by His Honor, Carter H.
Harrison, Mayor of Chicago, upon the
advice and recommendation of the Chi-
cago Masons & Builders' Association,
and kindred organizations, — he being the
unanimous choice of these bodies; and
Whereas, The members of this Asso-
ciation, being practical builders and
knowing the value of a practical and
honest man as Building Commissioner,
have noted with the greatest degree of
satisfaction the tremendous improvement
in the working of this Department under
the active, able and fearless management
of Mr. Williams, particularly in the or-
dinance relating to fire escapes; in the
minuteness by which the plans of tene-
ment houses are examined and passed
upon : in the general all-round thorougli-
ness of the inspection of new buildings;
in the almost entire absence of Special
Ordinance permits being passed by the
City Council during Commissioner Will-
iams' term of office, and of many other
good and wholesome reforms brought
about during his regime ; and
Whereas, Much unjust criticism has
been made against Commissioner Will-

trust reposed in Building Commissioner

and unanimous endorsement of him, and

port in the furthering of the reforms he
has so ably begun.
Be it further resolved, That a copy of

I am unable to give you the location
of all of the connections which we de-
sire. The following have, however, been
determined upon :
1-0 in. connection with your main in
33d street, 192 feet east of the east line
of Shields avenue.
Several 4 in. and 2 in. connections
with your 6 in. main in Goodspeed av-
enue, between 50th and 51st streets.
Several 4 in. and 2 in. connections
with your 6 in. main in Paulina street,
between 44th and 45th streets.
The exact number and location of
these smaller connections named in the
last two paragraphs I am unable at this
time to give you, as the water supply
plan of, these two parks has not been
finally approved. We expect to com-
mence the work of filling in these parks
immediately, and if we can obtain the
necessary permission for the water pipe
connection without delay it would great-
ly facilitate our work.
Anything you can do to expedite the
matter will be greatly appreciated by
the Park Commissioners.
Very respectfully.
